Book excerpt: When she's betrayed by a vengeful ex- during her audition, Ballet prodigy Jandra is seriously injured. Her life seems ruined, but a secretive woman offers to pay for her surgery if she'll give a year of her life to working for the agency. Before she knows it, Jandra is training as an anti-terrorism field officer for an organization that specializes in fitting the talent to the job. Soon, she's assigned to a teaching position at Crystal University as a dance instructor while secretly trying to infiltrate a suspected terrorist cell, with a charming British guy as tech support. She seems to be a natural at her new profession, but it's not long before she discovers that there's no terrorism here: not unless you count rape, which Jandra, who can't forget her sister's tragic history, definitely does. It's not long before she's off the case, but she stays on her toes, fighting a different kind of threat with an implacable commitment and a deadly work ethic. Tutu chez!
